Obama's Vision: Death Falling from the Sky
Obama's Vision: Death Falling from the Sky
Analyzing Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 and Spirit Aerosystems: Failures and the Fostering of Deadly Incompetence.
Don’t you miss Obama? From the Marketer of the Year Award he was given in 2008 to the Nobel Peace Prize he was awarded in 2009, it was just one small step for a man, but one giant leap into the abyss of madness and criminality for the country. With him, the Cabal in power that placed him into the White House—the spirit of 'I care not what puppet is placed upon the throne of England. The man who controls the British money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply,' apocryphally said by Nathan Mayer Rothschild (b. September 16, 1777, d. July 28, 1836) is alive and well in the British former colony—entered a new era of Orwellian cynicism. Since Obama’s ascent to the pantheon of manufactured greatness, war has indeed been peace, and our collective ignorance is now our greatest strength.
The nation worshiped the guy who was killing abroad with so much grace and poise that it made us proud. The shady world of Those That Matter™ recognized his talents, and only 283 days after his inauguration, he was given that grotesque Nobel Peace Prize for Empty Blathering. In the parallel universe, the brown-nosed New York Times gushed as “Mr. Obama pursed his lips and nodded gently as the audience applauded loudly.” His Nobel was a warped carte blanche for killing left and right, and so he went on merrily waging seven peaceful wars against Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, and Somalia in order to justify the Nobel Peace Prize and “just wars” he has promoted in marketing blitz in Oslo and even, with a tear or two shed by the awed audiences, he “was applauded when he renewed his pledge to ban torture and close the prison at the American base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.” Do I really need to state how the Gitmo—“the United States symbol of torture, rendition and indefinite detention without charge”—as the Amnesty International wrote, is still open? I guess not.
Then, overwhelmed with either the soul-crushing weight of his shameless lies or perhaps the unruly poetic talent he could not contain any longer, Obama went on his trademark fallacious oratory: 'Let us reach for the world that ought to be,' he said in his Nobel acceptance speech, 'that spark of the divine that still stirs within each of our souls.' Damn, guys, I am in tears that ought to be, even now.
Only a year or so later, deep into killings Obama (book The Drone Memos: Targeted Killing, Secrecy, and the Law details it), at the White House Correspondent's Association Dinner—where made men and women of the approved marketing class, f.k.a. “journalists”, gather to kiss each other’s ring and prostrate in front of those that feed them—cracked a charming joke, as he was addressing the Jonas Brothers, a pop-band very important for our nation’s soul. "Sasha and Malia are huge fans, but boys, don't get any ideas. Two words for you: predator drones. You will never see it coming," he said with a menacing chuckle, like a murderous clown coming from Stephen King’s novels.
Obama’s party joke was truly hilarious, given his notorious “Kill List” and how many civilians were being killed at that same time in Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Nothing spells the Nobel Peace Prize better than thousands of civilians murdered, and canned laughter producers of the ceremony needn’t to include as he spoke, for there were enough sniveling little weasels to chuckle and chortle, like jesters in charge of laughing at the king’s idiotic jokes.
Years later, after Obama’s skills were honed to perfection, on May 27, 2016 at Hiroshima Peace Memorial, the Orator in Chief, pontificated in a thespian manner even Sir Lawrence Olivier would envy:
“Seventy-one years ago, on a bright, cloudless morning, death fell from the sky and the world was changed. A flash of light and a wall of fire destroyed a city and demonstrated that mankind possessed the means to destroy itself.“
Well, it wasn’t some poetic “death” that somehow magically “fell from the sky” like snowflakes on Christmas Day to make kids happy; instead, it was the bomb designed and constructed by the United States as part of the Manhattan Project and dropped from the bomber manufactured by the Boeing Airplane Company from Arlington, VA, located some twenty minutes away from The George Bush Center for Intelligence, also known as the headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency, CIA. Those last two entities, Bush and CIA are both known for their intelligence—The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence book debunks the notion about the former and Ellen DeGeneres befriended the latter—so it’s only natural for them to merge into one gigantic joke on a 258-acre CIA campus in Fairfax County, Virginia.
Boeing, rather its spin-off, Spirit AeroSystems, is of our interest for this story.
I harked back and harped on the noble Nobel recipient only because he seems to embody the only real skill America has developed since his seemingly never-ending era began: the art of polishing turds of propaganda psyops needed to justify all sorts of crimes—be it wars, forcing muzzles on human faces, or locking them in, to name only those I personally abhor the most—while the rest atrophied. The nation has been driven to madness with fear, stupefied to oblivion with propaganda, and tortured to death with legalized governmental extortion.
Moreover, it’s not easy to live in a country where your own government hates and despises you so much that it first puts your children in a house arrest over a virus that was near completely harmless for them and, once the schools could not be closed anymore, sends them home so illegals could take their place.
The Psyop Watch Note
The corporate propaganda media started to use the term “migrants” for illegal immigrants. The difference is subtle but important, for migrant implies a person who moves from one place to another, often for work or economic reasons, within the country. An example is The Great Migration, during which millions of black migrants moved from the South to cities like Chicago. They were internal migrants, as they were moving within the United States.
An immigrant, on the other hand, is someone who comes from a foreign country to settle in a new one, in this case, the United States. They want to blur the line so we would accept the people that broke the law—rather the US government that broke all sorts of laws using illegal immigrants as pawns in their power games—as someone who has full right to be in the United States, as legal, lawful citizens of black ancestry during the 1910–1970 Great Migration.
The age of deadly incompetence fell from the sky and is now upon us.
Skies with Drones, Planes in Zones: A Tale of Airborne DEI Tones
Jennifer Homendy, chair of the National Transportation Safety Board said “warning lights were triggered on three flights, including each of the two days before the brand-new Boeing 737 MAX 9 suffered a terrifying fuselage blowout Friday night. A plug covering a spot left for an emergency door tore off the plane as it flew 16,000 feet (4,800 meters) above Oregon” but the people, luckily, lived. Boeing 737 MAX 9 had prior problems but this time the FDA has grounded them on January 9, 2024.
The people would now, and rightfully so, discuss how the reckless pursuit of profits over safety endangers the lives and some would even ask, how many should die before we do something about it, but I’d like to dig deep into related issue. In the land of the legalized fraud, all starts with a Class Action Suit Against Spirit AeroSystems.
The lawsuit claims that the “Spirit AeroSystems is the main supplier of parts to The Boeing Company (“Boeing”), and Boeing is Spirit’s main customer. One of Spirit’s primary roles is to manufacture the majority of the fuselage for Boeing 737 aircraft, which fuselages Spirit ships to Boeing for final assembly of completed aircraft.
Spirit’s business was severely affected when, after tragic accidents involving Boeing 737 MAX aircraft in October 2018 and March 2019, regulators worldwide, including the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”), grounded the 737 MAX due to safety concerns.” (Case 1:23-cv-03722-PAE Document 25 Filed 12/19/23 Page 6 of 105)
The guys suing want money—the Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. (SPR) shares dropped substantially—but the background is more interesting to me. On April 8, 2020, Spirit AeroSystems [NYSE: SPR] Press Release stated that it “is announcing today a series of additional actions the company is taking to reduce costs and preserve liquidity in light of the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and continued uncertainty in the industry,” and among these actions were:
Implementing workforce reductions of 2,800 employees in Wichita, Kansas and 400 employees in Oklahoma
Initiating a voluntary retirement program for 850 hourly and salaried workers
Extending union contracts for employees represented by the IAM and IBEW for three years.
As of December 31, 2019, Spirit's cash balance was $2.35 billion and total debt balance was $3.03 billion. As of April 2, 2020, Spirit's cash balance was approximately $1.83 billion and total debt balance was approximately $3.04 billion. Spirit's $800 million revolver credit remained fully drawn.
The bottom line, they were in troubles.
The Taxpayer Hostage Cavalry Comes to the Rescue
With the thunderous sound of galloping hooves, the government stepped in, took your money without your consent, and the Spirit AeroSystems was set to get the biggest payout from the Biden administration, getting $75.5 million, “the most of any company.” The Transportation Department stated that this measure should protect more than 3,200 jobs at Spirit alone. While 2800 + 400 might be too much of a calculation for our high school students who’d go bonkers if asked to calculate, it’s not a challenge for the astute readers of the Struggles. You get it: those two numbers—Spirit’s 'workforce reduction' and the Aviation Manufacturing Jobs Protection Program's requirement that companies receiving funds must not lay off workers or cut their pay—match.
So, blaming the COVID on everything game has short legs.
The statements from the Spirit’s PR “were materially false and/or misleading, and/or failed to disclose material adverse facts because, as Defendants knew or recklessly disregarded, the mass layoffs and similar measures described in the press release resulted in Spirit’s loss of many experienced mechanics and quality personnel, thereby posing a significant risk to Spirit’s ability to maintain operations to support its customers, and to maintain the health and viability of its supply chain,” claims the Class Action Suit Against Spirit AeroSystems, Case 1:23-cv-03722-PAE Document 25 Filed 12/19/23 Page 42 of 105.
So, the competent were fired after all.
“My ignorance is as valid as your knowledge!”™ should really be trademarked and given a seal of woke approval, as we keep experienced mechanics and quality personnel in mind.
Complex Systems Won’t Survive the Competence Crisis
“Recently, the tremendous U.S. record for air safety established since the 1970s has been fraying at the edges. The first three months of 2023 saw nine near-miss incidents at U.S. airports, one with two planes coming within 100 feet of colliding. This terrifying uptick from years prior resulted in the FAA and NTSB convening safety summits in March and May, respectively. Whether they dared to discuss root causes seems unlikely,” wrote Harold Robertson in an oft-quoted, ominous article—a sobering analysis of declining competency in our society that values DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) utter stupidity of a 'different way of knowing' over, well, real knowledge. It promotes ideological idiots incapable of screwing a screw, much less assembling an airplane, but competent enough to teach male mechanics how to breastfeed and use tampons.
And where’s the Spirit focus lies? Not hard to guess.
DEI Ideologues Leading Spirit
“Spirit values the full range of differences, perspectives and abilities that our employees bring to the workplace. We strive to create an environment where all employees feel welcomed and a sense of belonging. Cultivating a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion directly aligns with our values and is a key enabler to achieving our overall business strategy to enhance performance.”
Not COMPETENCE as the key enabler, but the DEI BS. In their own damn words.
Spirit President & Chief Executive Officer, Tom Gentile and Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, Sam Marnick, co-chair and lead the Executive Diversity & Inclusion Council. “The executive council sets strategic imperatives for the organization globally.”
Not COMPETENCE needed to set strategic imperatives, but the DEI ideological BS. In their own damn words.
But worry not, male tampon-promoting political commissars of woke ideology are alive and well at Boeing as well, dead set on screwing up that company. "All of us at Boeing aspire to create the most equitable, diverse, and inclusive company on earth," so, again, not the safest, most reliable, customer-oriented company on earth. They’re promoting a Sovietized cadre of sickening ideology wrapped in shiny, meaningless drivel.
Among those woke ideologues, one name stands out, that of Sara Bowen. Her job title—Vice President of Global Equity, Diversity & Inclusion, Talent Intelligence and Employee Listening—tells you all you need to know, issued statements that are comedy gold, worthy of legendary Three Men in a Boat: (To Say Nothing of the Dog) book by Jerome K. Jerome:
Seek, Speak & Listen
“Our global team continues to advance equity, diversity and inclusion within Boeing and beyond. In 2021, we published our diversity metrics for the first time in Boeing’s history, built inclusive habits called Seek, Speak & Listen, and furthered our equity strategy with the support of our Racial Equity Task Force.”
Think about how much money Spirit AeroSystems and Boeing have to spend on an ideology that promotes, values, and pays their employees to, like STASI informers in the former DDR (the communist German Democratic Republic), habitually "seek"—what the hell do you have to seek if you're assembling an airplane—that would carry millions of people all over the world and then "speak," I guess report to the Sara Bowen’s “Task Force.”
And it's going to get even worse. For the first time, DEI compliance was tied to compensation.
Please note that the Boeing Woke Priestess, Sara Bowen is, in her words, “living and working on the Native Lands of the Coast Salish and Duwamish people” and, I guess, overwhelmed by guilt for not moving out of the Native Land of the people her co-workers’ ancestors genocided, always ready to “Discuss Allyship to the Black Community.”
Imagine being the most loved person in woke America, a she-male, pink-haired, black mechanic—not an idiot DEI hire but rather highly skilled and devoted to your job, immersed in high-intensity development projects with Boeing Defense, Space & Security (formerly known as Boeing Integrated Defense Systems)—and having to waste time on "Allyship" with that needy Bowen creature, while that DEI voodoo witch, sorry, the High Woke Priestess goes on blathering about Duwamish people and inclusive habits called Seek, Speak & Listen where demons dwell, ready to mess up the fuselage so people can fall from the sky once a Boeing airplane explodes in the air.
I guess I will fly Airbus only.
Hold your horses, man, no one is safe from the DEI ideology.
Obama had his fingerprints on the FAA as well, from “a new and onerous $100 per flight user fee” to lowering standards for air traffic controllers.
“It may come as a shock to most Americans that the Obama administration dropped a skill-based system for selecting and hiring air traffic controllers (ATCs), and replaced it with a new system designed to favor applicants on the basis of their race. The original lawsuit, Brigida v. Chao, was prompted by the FAA’s 2013 decision to abandon its longtime hiring practice, which relied on a network of university- sponsored Collegiate Training Initiative (CTI) programs in cooperation with the FAA since 1991 to train and test future ATC’s. The FAA’s new hiring regime abandoned the CTI program as a basis for hiring new controllers, and instead based hiring on a “biographical questionnaire” designed to screen out candidates who weren’t members of a preferred minority racial group.” wrote The Mountain States Legal Foundation.
Note that in 2018 the Biographical Assessment was removed as a screening tool requiring all applicants to take the Air Traffic Skills Assessment (ATSA).
The Ideological Catalyst
Spirit AeroSystems’ valuable partner, The Catalyst, is “accelerating progress for women through workplace inclusion.” Recall how “Global Diversity,” not safety of their products and lives of their ultimate customers flying Boeing 737 MAX 9 is “a priority” at Spirit AeroSystems. And Boeing. At least they helped diversified people falling to their deaths on board of the flawed airplane they helped build.
On October 29, 2018, 189 people aboard the Indonesian 737 MAX 9 aircraft died
On March 10, 2019, 157 people aboard the Ethiopian 737 MAX 9 aircraft died.
The globally diverse Catalyst Spirit that Spirit AeroSystems loves as much as the Blue Horseshoe loved Anacott Steel, is an interesting entity. Let’s see.
The Catalyst—a sort of ideological committee Spirit is grateful to for the opportunity to be schooled about falling airplanes and the diversity of their victims—has a CEO who wrote a vision for 2024:
“To the Catalyst Community:
As we introduce our guiding theme for the new year, the Catalyst Effect, I am reminded of one of my favorite quotes, attributed to Margaret Mead: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world: indeed, it’s the only thing that has.”
They are committed, indeed.
“The Catalyst Board of Directors is a distinguished group of corporate leaders who guide our strategy to accomplish our mission,” their site reads and features, in the Board, all these DEI-oriented companies, that “lead” the “leaders” in “leading” the DEI catalyst, no matter what any of that means:

No one in their right mind would have anything against women, or any of those groups DEI favors, in the workplace, assuming they are the most qualified people available for a given position, and are not pushing competent men out. However, when we look at some of the recent DEI hires, from that Pierrine exemplary idiot as the White House spokesperson, to the recently disgraced serial plagiarist Dr. Claudine Gay at Harvard, it seems to me that ideology is by far more important than competency.
When ‘cultivating a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion’ is a sensitive industry’s ‘key enabler’ to achieving their business strategy the red flags must go up. I am not saying that many experienced mechanics and quality personnel at Spirit were fired and replaced by much less qualified DEI hires, but this is the question that should be asked.
But then, the Spirit AeroSystems shows their own idea of “diversity” while writing: “While diversifying our workforce includes all people and genders, we know that hearing the stories of women who have had successful careers in engineering can inspire young women and girls considering the profession to pursue their dreams.”
Herein are "all genders" Spirit AeroSystems celebrated during the International Women in Engineering Day on June 23, 2022.
How their heads don't explode with "all genders" and "diversity" ideological BS while simultaneously celebrating one of the two genders, women, is beyond me. I guess “diversity” in woke America means the absence of white men.
Imploding Madness
Unless we return to meritocracy and stop boosting DEI-woke BS along the lines of Sara Bowman with their phony diversity as holy scripture, get ready to endure another soaring speech by Obama, an eulogy for the United States of America—that ought to be—but was sold out by the worst criminals among us to the least competent among us. The murderous drones he loves so much would play Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 2 – Marche funebre for our country, buzzing above our heads, chasing us as Obama’s drones were chasing and killing Yemenis, Pakistanis, and other beneficiaries of his post-Nobel Peace Prize efforts.
God’s away on business Tom Waits sung, and Batman gave up on us while these migrants, as corporate propaganda labels the throngs of illegal immigrants, do not, at first blush, seem comprised of too many competent aerospace engineers. So, no help from them either.
The American System Is Cracking
I will leave you with yet another quote from Mr. Harold Robertson (the subtitle above is also his):
“Americans living today are the inheritors of systems that created the highest standard of living in human history. Rather than protecting the competency that made those systems possible, the modern preference for diversity has attenuated meritocratic evaluation at all levels of American society. Given the damage already done to competence and morale combined with the natural exodus of baby boomers with decades worth of tacit knowledge, the biggest challenge of the coming decades might simply be maintaining the systems we have today.
The path of least resistance will be the devolution of complex systems and the reduction in the quality of life that entails. For the typical resident in a second-tier city in Mexico, Brazil, or South Africa, power outages are not uncommon, tap water is probably not safe to drink, and hospital-associated infections are common and often fatal. Absent a step change in the quality of American governance and a renewed culture of excellence, they prefigure the country’s future.”
The name of that prefiguration is failure.
A general breakdown of the United States of America, burned on the DEI sacrificial stake with BLM ready to fire the pyre, will be unavoidable unless we chase those woke bums out.
